KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is in the midst of deciphering the identities of operatives involved in the counter-setting syndicate.
MACC Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said this in commenting on claims that the "big fish" involved in the counter-setting syndicate, which is linked to medical visa syndicate, have not been probed.
"I cannot verify who the big fish they (those who made the claims) are referring to at this juncture," he told the New Straits Times.
"Let me confirm who these people are," he said.
Earlier today Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail asked Malaysiakini to reveal the alleged high-profile figures involved in the counter-setting syndicate who remain at large.
Saifuddin said he would personally ensure MACC receives the information should the news portal provide it.
He was responding to Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng who asked if the government would act upon Malaysiakini's report that the "big fish" in the syndicate remain free.
Last month it was reported that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission arrested 60 people including the mastermind of counter-setting operations at KLIA.
The syndicate involved Immigration Department personnel, agents and foreign nationals who were allegedly bringing in foreign workers illegally.
Some of the "big fish" said to be involved in the syndicate are a high-ranking official and Johor businessman known only as Tok Yah and DK respectively.
